About Me

So on Dec 23rd we left Gardnerville, NV headed for Utah to celebrate Christmas and New Years with the grand kids.

The holidays are always enjoyed much more through the eyes of children. The first night we spend in Elko, NV and since we were not taking the fiver we stayed in a motel. Virg got into the slot tournament finals and took second place. Just before the finals she won enough to pay for our stay including meals. Lucky women. Were we happy we were in a motel room when the temperature went to -11 degrees over night. This Hotel Casino also has places for RVers, looks awfully cold to me, especially with low temperatures.

Next day we headed for Salt Lake City. The landscape was beautiful with snow everywhere. Fortunately for us the roads were clear.

The Ruby Mountains were lovely in there snow blanket.

The Bonneville Salt Flats in winter, no snowmobile speed trials this day, plus a short stop for the driver.

How's this one for"Where's Good Sam"

Check out the reflection in the Great Salt Lake.

We landed at the kids house in time for Christmas Eve dinner and festivities.
